"Hey hey hey, Bao Shun, press on the left handlebar, the bike is going to fall!!"
"F * ck! You better be careful! I only have this damn bike, if you break it, I won't be able to buy it even if I have money! "
"Stupid! You don't even know how to ride a bike, are you a piece of trash? "
"Haha! Xiao Qin, luckily I'm smart and didn't ride it myself. Otherwise, wouldn't I be like this idiot Bao Shun and have shit all over my body ~? "
"Yes yes yes! Steady! Just ride it like this! Haha! Circle it twice in this courtyard for me! "
"Yes yes! Awesome! Really damn awesome! Bao Shun, throw away one hand and see if you can ride it with only one hand? "
"Wow ~! Amazing! It really works! Let's see! "
In the backyard of the Lin family, under the instigation of Lin Hao, the servant Bao Shun began his journey of learning how to ride a bicycle. At first, because he was not used to riding a two-wheeled bicycle, this unlucky child fell down many times and was scolded many times. In the end, he was finally able to ride steadily.
Looking at him riding the bike in the breeze, Lin Hao sat on the couch with a face of enjoyment, as if he was the one riding the bike. He really used the concept of "riding in the clouds" to the extreme, making the scalps of the four maidservants tingle!
"Cough cough ~!"
While they were laughing and chatting, a cold cough suddenly came from the side.
"Madam!"
The four little maidservants were the first to react from the joy brought to them by the bicycle. They bowed and said.
It was Lin Wenyuan's wife who had returned from Xi City!
"Haha! Mother is back! Mother, come and sit! Xiao Hua, the weather is so cold, quickly pour a cup of hot water for my mother! "
Lin Hao noticed the movement beside him, turned around, and hurriedly stood up with a smile.
"Yes, Young Master!"
The maidservant who helped massage Lin Hao's legs before went to carry out the order.
A trace of warmth flashed through Madam Lin's eyes, and she swallowed the words of reprimand that were about to come out of her mouth. This young man in front of her was indeed a little ignorant and incompetent, but no matter what, he was still born from her ten months of pregnancy!
"Xiao Hao, this bicycle was obtained by your father with great difficulty. How can you let a servant ride it? What if it breaks?"
Mrs. Lin patted her son's hand and motioned for him to sit down. Then, she sat down beside him and said.
Before today, she might have thought that a bicycle was nothing. It was only a few hundred strings of coins, and the Lin family could still afford it. But today in Xi City, when she saw hundreds and thousands of people queuing up just to grab a few bicycles, she finally understood how precious bicycles were. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy one!
Wasn't the reason why the Lin Family had it because they were members of the Chamber of Commerce?
After Lin Hao heard his mother's words, he smiled and said, "Mother! This bicycle is so dangerous to ride. If I try to ride it, I might fall and hurt myself. When that happens, you will definitely be heartbroken! That's why I let Baoshun ride first! "
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she also felt that it was reasonable. She dropped the topic and changed the topic.
"Xiao Hao, have you finished the homework that Mr. Ya Chuan left for you?"
This Mr. Ya Chuan, whose surname was Wang, was a famous scholar in Wannian County of Chang 'an. In the previous dynasty, he was a scholar. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Tang Dynasty, although he didn't participate in the imperial examinations again, he was still very famous in Wannian County. Lin Wenyuan had spent a lot of money and pulled a lot of strings to finally invite this old man to teach Lin Hao one day every ten days.
Lin Hao's face was full of resentment and said, "Mother! That old man looks down on us from the bottom of his heart. Why should I do the homework that he left for me? We don't owe him anything. What right does he have to look down on us? If it weren't for you and father stopping me, I would have already gotten someone to beat him up! "
"How dare you!"
Lin Mu glared at her son. Then, she said to the maids and servants around her, "All of you, leave. If anyone dares to say what Hao 'er said just now, I'll tear his mouth apart!"
The servants were shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes, Madam!"
After they all left, Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Hao and said earnestly, "Xiao Hao, I know that Mr. Ya Chuan looks down on us, but I don't blame him. Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants. Our Lin family has been doing business for generations. Although we don't have to worry about food and clothing, in the eyes of scholars, we are destined to be inferior. This is something that no one can change.
Your father invited Mr. Ya Chuan to teach you poetry, but he didn't expect you to participate in the imperial examinations and pass the imperial examinations. He only hoped that you can be reasonable and have a clear mind so that you can inherit the family business he created for you. After all, the children of merchants can't enter the imperial court and become officials! "
Lin Hao immediately said unconvinced, "Mother! Isn't Marquis Yong 'an from a merchant family? Isn't he a noble marquis now? "
Mrs. Li patted her son's arm and said unhappily, "Marquis Yong 'an is a special case. He has an immortal master and has a lot of skills. How can we, mere mortals, compare to him?"
"But Mother, I heard that Marquis Yong 'an's Yanhuang College didn't forbid the children of merchants from entering. After those students leave school, can't they use the skills they learned in Yanhuang College to enter the imperial court and become officials?"
Lin Hao frowned and said.
At this moment, Mrs. Lin's eyes revealed an imperceptible smile. She said softly, "That's hard to say. However, if they can enter Yanhuang College, even if they can't learn 50% of Marquis Yong 'an's skills, they should be able to learn 10% or 20%. Just based on this 10% or 20% of skills, they are people with great prospects! Let's not talk about anything else. Just the fact that Marquis Yong 'an is willing to give the children of merchants this opportunity to enter the imperial court is worthy of our gratitude. "
It was rare that Lin Hao didn't refute. He nodded and said, "En, Marquis Yong 'an is indeed different from others. He is an interesting person!"
Mrs. Lin immediately smiled and said, "Then Little Hao, have you thought of going to Yanhuang College to study? In another half a year, Yanhuang College will hold another entrance exam. Do you want to try? Who knows, it might be more interesting than home? "
When Lin Hao heard this, his head shook like a rattle drum, "No, no, no, Mother! With this bit of knowledge in my stomach, how can I enter Yanhuang College? You should give up on this idea as soon as possible! "
Mrs. Lin said in a deep voice, "Little Hao, how do you know you can't if you haven't tried? There are still nine months until next year's entrance exam. Mother heard people say that there is a seven or eight year old foolish child in the Han Village who only studied for two months and got in! Mother knows that you aren't stupid. You are just lazy! If you are determined to enter Yanhuang College now, Mother believes that you will be able to get in next year! "
